The project aims to establish a national freelancer center, whose residents will be able to enjoy new benefits and preferences.
The draft bill prepared by the ministry defines the objectives, procedure and criteria for registration of freelancers as residents of the center.
“Under the project, creation of a center of freelancers estimated at 20 billion soum [$1.9 million] is planned. The center will offer training courses and help the freelancers to gain skills in website development and design, as well as to develop mobile applications,” the agency said.
Residents of the center will be given temporary employment certificates with crediting of work experience and will be provided with assistance in employment.
